| Learning and Teaching Strategies | We emphasize the development of Multiple Intelligences (MI) to nurture our students for the 21st century. Apart from moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development, we also foster students' spiritual development. With the introduction of Liberal Arts and the cultivation of 3-Literacy (English, Chinese and information technology), we believe that a balanced curriculum and a lifelong learning environment can motivate our students to strive for excellence and achieve their full potential. Highlights are listed below:<br>1. Our Academic Development Committee will evaluate and assess the school curriculum periodically to ensure its alignment with the school's major concerns, students' needs and educational trends. <br>2. In setting the school curriculum, both the curriculum framework suggested by EDB and the curriculum models of other countries have been considered. The curriculum aims at developing the skills of learning to learn, which in turn can reach the goal of lifelong learning. <br>3. Teachers' professionalism is enhanced through quality circles in different subjects. Students' progress and teaching strategies are evaluated regularly and lesson observation is widely conducted.<br>4. The provision of Information and Computer Literacy aims at training students to master the use of information technology, while developing it as a learning tool. Great emphasis is therefore placed on incorporating international learning and teaching activities in order to develop students' communication and collaboration skills, and help them apply the skills learnt in different subjects.<br>5. Our Secondary 1-3 students are required to participate in project-based learning after term-end assessment in order to enhance their inquisitive mind and generic skills.<br>6. BYOD policy is widely adopted in order to promote mobile learning and self-directed learning. |
